GRU nursing program showing sense of unity

Georgia Regents University (WFXG) -

It was the only duplicate program for the new 'U' that required
consolidation. But now, nursing students from both former schools are
becoming one.

"The reputation that we have right now, what we
hear from people out in the community, is that our college of nursing has
truly unified in a positive kind of way," said College of Nursing Dean, Dr. Lucy Marion.

Marion and other school officials were on hand at a celebration
today that unveiled a new logo and student uniform designs. She says
those designs and other decisions were made with input from both
schools.

"Everything was be done jointly," Marion said. "There would be no GHSU committees making decisions without a full compliment of former ASU."

Part
of the event included students coming together for fun and team
building activities, something they say helps the consolidation.

"They're
trying to get people who were once kind of angry and bitter, to kind of
come together and be like, 'oh, maybe this is alright," said Evan Grovenstein.

Another student says the process has been fairly easy.

"Everything's
been run smoothly," said Ceci Griffin. "I was a little worried at first, with how smooth
everything would go, but we really haven't had any problems. I think
everyone gets along, I was really excited to see what everything looked
like today."
